Blasters are cool quads man, cheap to build, super reliable, and you can find them for cheap. You can beat the shit out of these quads and they just keep going. They arent the fastest quad but they are a blast to ride.
By far one of your best videos man. Make sure you block off that oil injection line on the carb. It will make it run poorly with that air leak. I think they make kits you can buy to properly remove it or block it off. Again. Awesome video.
Gosh I’ve been wanting to know this type knowledge my whole life brother it’s amazing watching you wondering if your gonna get it going or not and 98 percent of the time you do! I wish I knew you in real life I would buy something you fixed you really know you stuff and teach us how to do it completely! You show us how to fix it ourselves so cool brother thanks for the confidence you give me on these types of Machines a dirt bike or 4 wheeler mechanic wouldn’t never let us know how it really works keep the hard honest work up! Thanks god bless! Oh and you always make it look easy!
Blasters are some of the best quads ever I have a 2003 Yamaha blaster and my friend has some as well they rip and they are so fun in the trails and on my MX track.
That spring is from the Kickstarter gear I’m pretty sure. I just got a 1985 yz80 and the kick gear has a piece that comes off the bottom of the gear and it sits in the clutch cover. Look at a picture of one
Joe who ever had this before you definitely didnt know what they were doin that one head bolt was so tight they definitely didn’t torque things correctly, ive had issue with my shift drum on my blaster so I understand this problem
You can get one of those stens inline sparkplug tester for testing that.& you can leave it hooked up to even see it from setting on the fourwheeler.& etc. Running.& not running to also.
I have a banshee and a warrior and when the quads aren’t running you can’t shift them past 2nd gear or so I would go ride it and see if it will shift past second. If the transmission was messed up it probably wouldn’t shift at all
Perfect person to ask my question. I have a raptor 350. I talk to so many people that say the blaster is way faster. I've raced 3 blasters and gapped every single one by quite a bit. I had no modifications at the time I raced them. Your warrior is basically the same as my raptor 350. Is your warrior faster than your blaster or did I just get lucky 3 times in a row?
@@xfiringsquadx I’m pretty sure a warrior is faster then a blaster. And the raptor 350 is like the warrior expect the raptor is newer and probably has a couple different things on it
It was the spring from the backside of the kick start thing you had it right just not that spring, its like the one on the back that holds it like a clip if that made any sense. I'm putting one together that someone had for $200 in pieces and just dealt with that spring. Always love getting help from your videos bro!
My guess is you lost the bb type bearing between the two clutch actuator rods that you called a shift rod. It will make proper clutch adjustment upon reassembly virtually impossible also check locator pins behind shift star. Great vids keep up the good work. Oh wait now I see it resting on the cardboard. 25.31
There should be a little clip on the kick start gear toward the back where that little tongue thing sticks out and catches it on the case to stop is and the that clip goes back there that’s the end of it that you where trying to match up to the spring
Good job man.i currently am restoring an 82 cr 125 honda,and its got great spark,175 compression,carbs clean and functioning,no air obstructions,plugs brand new,cap and wire,brand new,and i cannot get the thing to fire.nothing,not even with starting fluid,or fuel in the plug hole.nada...its flustering me
My 1996 blaster did this. I split the case halves and found it was a bad shift fork, replaced it, used tons of assembly lube and she runs like a dream now
The spring that is broken goes around the kick start gear it almost just clips on.. It locates in the casing in the hollow just below where the return stopper is. When not located or broken the gear does not slide out to engage the idler gear. 2 problems 1 solution
@@kernelbadness I love how some people think you can just “bore” it over to make it bigger😂😂 bore that shit right into the coolant jackets while your at it
my YZ 125 done the exact same thing with the kicker it's just a problem that you have to fix with a c-clip on the gear that turns well that engages the kicker and the clutch basket it's probably rattling around and then slipping
The neutral after second gear happened to me before the cause of it was the wrong and missing transmission washers. I imagined the gear tryna shift and the gear that's supposed to take placed gets pushed up when it's supposed to connect which makes the teeth on the gears worn a little. Check it
Please make more videos about this blaster. I have one myself a 2001, without the key, the fancy headlight etc. I never knew that they had a oil injection to the carb. I just always premix my gas. And where would you put the oil? Is there an extra tank??? Plus i have a hose going from the top of the block to the top where my headlight is. What is that for??
I just got one myself, a 2002. Sounds like someone has taken all the extras off of yours, which isn't a bad thing. Mine is stock and I had to do a TORS delete and I'm waiting on a oil block off plate to delete the oil delivery. They have a small oil tank rear left with a hose to the pump and a smaller hose from the pump back up to the carb. If you're missing these hoses make sure it's been sealed with RTV. I'm removing my pump and blocking it with a plate you can get on Ebay, comes with plate, 2 screws, and a gasket. There's other ways to deal with it but this is the best way. That hose you mentioned is a vent. Oh btw, if your's has had the Tors removed, and a new carb cap eliminating the Tors block on top of the carb, you will have needed a new idle screw drilled and tapped into the carb. This is necessary to get it to idle properly. If this has already been done the big (boss) port , center on the choke side will have been ground flat (it's tapered to begin with), and will have the brass screw installed for idle.
Ok so spring lodged in gear drum .... got to take that trans out and check for missing teeth on gears. looks like it’s had a bottom end rebuild and kick return spring has broken up and lodged in gears or was left there. this happened on my 490 got between the gears and case and popped the engine case so i’d check that for cracks round the kickstarter area as that’s a lot of metal to be floating around in the trans.
That is part of another spring. At least on my DT125. The kick starter has two springs , the first one is an angular spring you showned mounted on the shaft on 31:46 , the second is an axial spring that fits between the kickstart axle (bottom) and the case. I recognize the shape of that spring, exactly like the DT. Check for the part 90468-26048-00 for the blaster.
You were going to put those cases back together without fixing the problem... Those pieces of Metal came from somewhere, which means that all them gears have to come out So you can fix the problem... Which you did figure out..
You need a block off plate for that oil pump. It will run lean with the pump there and also the carb oil injection hole needs to be plugged. I say this from experience, I’ve blown up my old blaster twice from this before I realized. Also the top of that piston looks weird like that because it is a straight up Chinese eBay piston. I don’t see it lasting long at all.
@2vintage. I really love your videos bro I've learned so much bro I just have a hard time bleeding the rear brakes of my dirt bike keep up the hard work bro and u have a merry Christmas bro
Awesome video man love blasters there fun I had a 2000 full dg exhaust fully race ready redone mine kept up with my friends old 350 raptor, I'm looking to get another one sometime add to the collection
I had a blaster that would shift so I took it all apart and whoever built it didn’t make sure the trans bearings were seated right so when the case bolts tightened up the trans would completely lock up
A big round of applause for working on a bench now. I would take the wedding ring off while working with tools and around chemicals and sparky sparky things.
New spring reason why you can’t fit it together probably was rebuilt one time then the spring broke on the kicker so they took the side case off an put a new spring on it but didn’t do it right reason why it only works when it catches I just wonder how it made it there though good video though
i never buy anything with gasket make on it unless it’s cheap . The thing is with gasket maker is you know whatever was done to the motor wasn’t done proper.
Still riding a crf450 I rebuilt a year ago an it’s going strong I used gasket maker only because my 50$ gasket set was shitty an off really bad an I couldn’t wait any longer for a new set to come but still I’m not leaking anything so your point is?
Mine was shifting the same when I was stationary shifting the engine. I did the shift star mod and replaced the detent arm. Now that that engine is put back together it shifts like butter. For some reason blaster are tough to shift while engine is off. Thanks

The continuation of the IT200 motor, it really moved the bike.
Love the Blaster... perfect for a beginner who loves that 2 stroke powerband and smell! Thanks for the upload.
When you see a blaster on the front cover of a 2vintage video you know its gonna be a good one.
Pulling the motor apart on a nice bench, that couldn’t be 2vintage. Props on diagnosing and absolutely getting to work.👌
To me, all those metal chunks appear to be from the kickstarter spring, so that would solve both of your problems
I'm having the same problem u seem like you know what ur talking about how sure are you

@@doug12382 cheers doug
Get a yfz450 next
I rebuilt one a while ago, and it wouldn't shift past 3rd, turned out it was the new oil plug i put in that was to long
Just bought a 2000 blaster fully rebuilt motor as was blown. New rear axle new wheel handlebars and wires. I love the thing
Awesome!

Can't wait to see that racing with all the others.

All it's missing is the tommey b1 exhaust
Absolutely, I put one on mine and it's a totally different machine. Best $500 I ever spent
The best pipe is the ct, or the trinity. Toomy is ok compared to them
Yea, any right bend pipe will outperform stock configuration pipe. Dmc alien pipes are the best sounding imo.

The way you say bags gets me
I’m looking at picking one up from my uncle and the Kickstarter doesn’t return. Thanks for showing me where the spring is!
Nice too see try so hard on bikes and quads
moving on up i see. first video with a work bench
There should be a little clip on the kick start gear toward the back where that little tongue thing sticks out and catches it on the case to stop is and the that clip goes back there that’s the end of it that you where trying to match up to the spring

Make sure the ball doesn't fall out behind the push rod for clutch
Yep I made sure to get it out before it got lost lol
Finally please do a build
22:20 "Head is pretty nice".

Couldn't agree with you more, brochacho.
Joe please do a top speed run on the Blaster.
Guessing 55mph. Gearing isn't meant for speed in these. Fun to ride though!

Best quad ever made
That's the shift drum that broke and it's stuck in a way where it can move just a little back n 4th

got to love the blasters good quads
There's two big chunks missing out the shift drum
That’s how they come... I thought the same thing til I found out

hi 2 vintage i haave a ktm 125 and it has a oil leak were would the oil leak most likly be and how could i fix it thanks
Probably the oil drain bolt or the clutch cover gasket leaking.
Could also be more severe like crank seals
My guess is not enough rtv gasket sealer on clutch cover!!🤪🤣🤣

About time. Blasters are so much fun.
Shift can toasted ahahah if u take it apart the best way to install is to put the trans gears and shift can together then put it all in at once
Yeah I found that out. Tricky to get it to all go in at once.
You have the $90 eBay special cylinder and piston nice job
I had a blaster that would shift so I took it all apart and whoever built it didn’t make sure the trans bearings were seated right so when the case bolts tightened up the trans would completely lock up
Yeah that's a pretty common problem with the blasters
4:27 new top end or not, it wont affect your spark
2vintage I had one do the same thing and it was the oil drain plug pushin up on the shift drum that shifts through the gears
Oh yes, another common problem with the blasters! I'm glad you figured it out!
I commented before I seen you take the oil plug out I said nop it’s not that
i had the shifting issue on one and i did the shift star mod as well as filing the shift shaft slot to get a tiny bit more throw
